"I'll get so much more out of the fact that it could help people, than the possibility that it could help my career in the future. Hopefully people in the months and years to come will come up to me in the street and tell me their story, because it's always interesting to hear."

He added: ""Yeah, I am glad, but one of the main reasons I became an actor is because I love to tell stories that can help people and portray the truth - whether that be political, emotional or any kind of genre. EastEnders represents people from working class backgrounds and I've been honoured to be a part of it for the time that I've been here."
